The Dining Room

This is an elegant Georgian style room perfect for wedding receptions and creates a sense of grandeur and occasion. For smaller wedding breakfasts the Dining Room can accommodate up to 26.


The Library

Sit in the Victorian Gothic splendour of the Library, with its magnificent stone fireplace creating a real focal point, especially when lit. An ideal place for meetings or to relax and enjoy a break.


The library is protected by ‘Bertie Bear’ our Taxidermy bear. If he could talk, you’d blush from ear to ear because this bear has seen things! Not only is he the focus of many a selfie he has found himself in the bridal bed on more than one occasion!


Dotted around the house you will find a variety of hats, the majority of the 200 and growing collection can be found in the Library. So… grab a hat, hit that dance floor and show us some moves like Jagger!
